A dozen Indians in Arizona have gone on the war path, and Governor Torriz, of Sonora, has offered five hundred dollars each for tho heads of the Apaches. It would be shame if some of the frontier white men should kill innocent Indians for the reward. There are men mean enough to do anything. It was the same way here ill Wisconsin when there was a big re- ward for wolf scalps. Men raised wolves for the scalps and imported scalps from Iowa PecI's Sun.

In all other cases it must either be contracted through carelessness; or, according to the new theory of tubercular parasites, re- ceived directly from others as an in- fectious disease. But in either case, Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discov- cry" is positive remedy for the dis ease in it's early stages. It is delay that is dangerous.

When funny story is suddenly re- called to mans mind by some cir cumstance, the desire to tell it is sud- denly irresistible. This was pecu- liarly so of old Jimmy Crawson. He was going down the creek one day on a raft, when one of the faftsmen was struck by an oar and knocked into the raging flood. The incident suggested something ludicrous to old Jimmy and instead of plunging in after his comrade, he drew as nea to him as he could safely and said: "Your falling i'll there reminds me of little thing that occurred about twenty years-'' But the man had gone down never to rise again.

Noble Soldiers.
Chambers Journal.

The Haytians are an intensely vain people, and the thing they most pride themselves on is their army. Noth- ing will convince them that as mili- tary power they are not vastly supe- rior to any nation, either in the old or new world. Even those who have lived in European capitals are ad- dicted to this extremely ridiculous "balderdash;" but when the real facts are presented, the state of affairs dis closed is simply sublime in its ab- surdity. The Havtian army must present tr t..opean DenU.>.~'- spec t"" oI grotesqueness the equa. If which it would be difficult to fino anywhere, either in fact or fiction.

It is now said that girls are ire quently made cross-eyed from eating strawberries. This story was very likely started by the same class oi young men who have claimed that ice cream causes ireckles.

Mans Height. YnnfhIa Communion

Men of the present day have no occasion to feel humiliated because they are not taller and larger than they are. There is no reason, in the discoveries of science, for the supposi- tion that men, as a whole, have ever had greater average height than they have now. For a long time, at Romans, in France, near the junction of the Isere and Rhone rivers, there existed deposit of gigantic bones which had long been known as the "Giant's Field"
 In recent times bones have been ex- humed there which were believed to be human, and which were said to :. those of Teutobodus, the kir :, the Teutons, who was ov"''e' .ne near the spot by Marius, IT. .toman general. The researcf of Cuvier, however, prove" --.ar these bones, together with tne others exhumed in the cow place, were those of 's ..U.tey7ujn ?'J5'<I = ~, =. tAtIllct animal of the tapir species, which measured about twenty feet in length.
 The myth of a race of giants has it's counterpart in those other creatures of the imagination, the pigmies. These fabled people, who wore so s,:all that sta'k r' .s"..I was a tree to them, "nlcn they chopped down with tiny hatchets and brush hooks, were said to inhabit Ethiopia. They were V .s ,.- ;y:,' "..... cne cranes. put ..,et. Ci. a,. = ...:'.",lenJ terms w.t. ..e cartridges that they were able to har- ness them into their carriages.
 They lived at first, according to the fable, in Thrace, but were driven out of Europe by the cranes, and took refuge in Ethiopia. It is now com- monly supposed that the pigmies were nothing more nor less than monkeys of small size, like the mar moset. The pigmy's warfare with the crane was probably the one grain of exact truth which survived in the tradition.
 The stories of the pigmies belong with the fables of the giants. The men of ancient times were of the same, or nearly the same height, of IhO9N VI thO PlCSSuC OdN. HC QOO1S of the ancient houses, the ancient armor, the Egyptian mummies, as well as the bones of fossil men, prove that there has been little or no varia- tion.
 Among famous tall men was the Roman Emperor Maximin, whose stature was seven and three-quarters feet. Maximin was young bar barian, the son of a Gothic father. who first attracted the attention of the Romans by overcoming sixteen of their strongest men, one after another, i'll wrestling contest, and, having been made centurion, fought and in- trigued his way to the imperial throne.
 The normal stature of men and women ranges between four feet and six feet four inches. Those who ex- ceed the latter height may be called giants, while those who are below four feet are called dwarfs. There have been dwarfs scarcely one foot six inches il height, but even these have been considerably taller that the tabled pigmies of antiquity.
